Ithaca, NY - Cornell University Library is the recipient of a $750,000
grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for a three-year project to
create an online repository for mathematics and statistics publications.
Titled "Project Euclid," its primary mission is to support the transition
of independent mathematics and statistics journals to the online
environment.
Independent journals have long been very important as an affordable means
of disseminating high-quality research in theoretical and applied
mathematics and statistics. The majority of these journals, however, have
faced economic tensions and technical hurdles in making a transition to a
Web-based publication. Project Euclid will help publishers of independent
mathematics journals by creating an infrastructure that will empower them
to publish on the Web, create economies of scale, and increase their
visibility by a combined online presence.
In Project Euclid, Cornell University Library (CUL) is collaborating with
Duke University Press to set up an online repository - a virtual "one-stop"
Web site where researchers and scholars will be able to access dozens of
important titles in mathematics and statistics. The Euclid site represents
a new model of scholarly communication, as it will support the entire span
of scholarly publishing from preprints to the distribution of published
journals. Project Euclid will also provide journal editors with a unique
set of Web-based publishing tools that will enable them to streamline their
editorial and peer review processes and publish in a more timely and
cost-effective manner.
Duke University Press publishes two leading math journals: Duke
Mathematical Journal and International Mathematics Research Notices.
Cornell University Library, one of the ten largest academic research
libraries in the nation, is internationally recognized for its innovation,
rapid progress, and expertise in digital library initiatives. The
university has strong mathematics and statistics departments, where more
than fifty faculty members are editors for leading journals.
Among its many digitization projects, CUL has identified electronic
projects in support of mathematics as a top priority. Nearly ten years
ago, 571 seminal mathematics works in the public domain from its collection
were digitized in a pioneering imaging project. Scholars and researchers
around the world have used the information on the Math Books Collection Web
site (http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/cdl-math-browse.html) and have ordered
printed and bound copies of these books. Recently the Scout Report for
Science & Engineering, the premier biweekly selection of useful Internet
sites for researchers, educators, and students in the life sciences,
physical sciences, and engineering selected this site as one of exemplary
interest.
CUL has also set up a "mirror" Web site to MATH, a major European resource,
allowing the campus community and subscribers in the U.S. to more quickly
access this online publication. A licensed database, MATH is the
electronic version of Zentralblatt fuer Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete,
the leading European indexing and reviewing service for the discipline.
At Cornell, Project Euclid is managed by Zsuzsa Koltay, CUL's coordinator
of electronic publishing. For more information about Project Euclid, visit
